Renewable Energy Project

ASSIGNMENT OVERVIEW

Either working alone, or with one other person, you will be assigned randomly a renewable energy source such as solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, hydropower, tidal power, hydrogen fuel cells, or wave power. You are to research your renewable energy source and complete a Google Presentation. When working on this project focus on: 1) how your energy source is used, 2) how common is it used today and where, 3) the benefits (pros) and costs (cons) of using it, 4) your opinion on its future in meeting the energy needs of a growing population. It is important that you understand that all energy resources, including yours, have good things and bad things about them. Your job with this project is to inform the class about your renewable energy resource so we can evaluate its future potential as we move beyond fossil fuels.
